When Ah Heng returned to City B, it was already past the eighth day of the first lunar month.

Father Wen asked her to go home for a few days, she thought about it and shook her head, like a rattle in a child's hand. He rubbed her hair and smiled, "It's still a child after all." ”

Ah Heng sniffed: "Dad, you see, it's still colder at home than in the south." He laughed and pretended to be stupid, not wanting to ask what his father meant.

Two or three days after arriving home, Ah Heng has been busy with housework. A holiday is outside, and the dust in the home has long accumulated.

gave his grandfather a visit to his old age, kowtowed a few times solemnly, amused the old man, and his pockets were abundant. There is a saying that what is called, oh, yes, there is a treasure in the family, especially if your family's treasure is still the level of the cornucopia.

Ah Heng said this to his grandfather with the New Year's money, and the old man scolded with a smile: "Yunyi, look, this kid's skin, do you care or not!" ”

The mother also laughed, pretending to be angry and wanted to hit her, but the hand was greeted on the face, but it only fell gently, not painful or itchy, a little spoiling, which made Ah Heng inexplicably happy for a long time.

After waiting for a few days, Yan Xi did not call back, and the return date was uncertain.

On the twelfth day of the first month, she remembered it very clearly, she didn't like anything in her life, and her mood was not extreme, but since that day, in this life, she has been alone with the number twelve, and she hates it to the extreme.

She received a courier at No. 09-68 in City B, with electronic handwriting and uprightness.

Still from Vienna.

On the cover, the sender is "Yan Xi".

Ah Heng smiled, thinking that this uncle estimated that he had made some new discoveries. opened it, but it was a pink crusty album, which was Yan Xi's favorite color, light to the extreme, bright and gentle. Although it is different from the previous single photos, it is still his style.

She once thought that as long as she took care of every episode that Yan Xi walked through, and paid attention to the clues in his life that remained in his life due to some sins, even if the ending was unpredictable, it would be enough to resist the origin that made him chill.

So, she kept telling him, Yan Xi, this world is nothing, it's not a big deal, you know?

In this world, she has lived for so long, experienced some difficult setbacks that she thought she had, and sometimes she wanted to cry, but she never gave up her persistence in the goodness of human nature. Therefore, every time after being sad and sad, when I meet some beautiful people, I wash my hostility towards other people in my heart, and I naturally think that this world is a world where you can live an ordinary life and have a warm heart.

So, it's not a big deal, right, Yanxi?

Therefore, when I am afraid of pain, I always feel that things are not as bad as I imagined, and I always think about how good it would be if Yan Xi was more rational and mature.

All the time, with such thoughts......

However, when she opened the photo album, every picture and scene made her want to smash the world completely.

Yan Xi, who was crushed by a group of men; Yan Xi, whose lower body was covered with blood; Empty wide-eyed Yanxi; There is still a smile on the corner of his mouth; Yan Xi who can't even shed tears; Yan Xi, whose face is still very childish; Yan Xi, who is only fifteen years old......

The truth, this is the truth!

Her eyes were red, and her whole body was extremely cold, and for the first time she knew that despair was what it felt like.

The pain was hopeless, but there was not a single wound.

Yan Xi, Yan Xi ......

She read his name, her eyes burned with pain, she covered her eyes, her fingers picked at the photo album, it was red, and it was about to ooze blood, but after all, she fell on the floor and cried bitterly.

Yan Xi ......

Later, when Yan Xi was unconscious, Ah Heng often held his hand and smiled at him: "Yan Xi, why are you so stupid, you really lost yourself?" ”

Vienna, is it that far away?

Everything seems to have been carefully calculated, and after receiving the photo album, immediately after, I received a phone call. Overseas long-distance, almost out of control Siguan's voice: "Ah Heng, go to the airport, go to the airport and have a look!" ”

She clutched the dazzling pink album in her hand, and her voice was hoarse to the extreme: "What's going on?" ”

Siwan was silent for a while, but Xin Dayi's voice came from the other side: "Damn!" Wen Siguan, what the are you shaking......" The sound of snatching the microphone staggered, and then, Xin Dayi's clear voice came from the microphone, "Ah Heng, listen carefully." Yan Xi received a receipt from the courier company before, and suddenly went crazy and ran away. We searched for almost a day in Vienna, but there was no one, and now we suspect that he may have returned home, so you should go to the airport now! ”

Ah Heng's eyes hurt again, and he heard the sound of electricity slowly passing by, snapping, small sparks, and the grand desolation went out.

When he hung up the phone, Sindayi cursed, as if he was extremely resentful, but his voice was far away and he couldn't hear it clearly.

That sentence, only that sentence.

"Fuck old *, don't let Lao Tzu grab the handle!"

Immediately after, there was a rush of sounds.

Something suddenly occurred to her. Is it the woman?

Ah Heng took a deep breath and staggered to his feet.

You can't be sad, you can't cry, you can't be weak, Wen Heng, you don't fucking allow it now!

She's waiting. Standing at the airport, for eight hours, not a single move.

People come and go, and everyone's footsteps are from far to near, and then far.

Her eyes widened, she smiled, smiled, and if she saw Yanxi, she would say: Welcome home. Then carefully treasure him and put him at home, how many bad people, she came to help him get rid of them. If you want to retreat and don't want to face it, then, when he is still willing to allow her to exist, there can be only two of them in this world.

Yan Xi, is this okay? Don't scold you for not eating well because you don't play games day and night; Don't blame you for being a picky eater because you only eat ribs and only drink chocolate milk; I don't hit you with a pillow just because you always teach me to swear......

Yan Xi, is this okay?

Finally, the clock at zero o'clock still rang. All the Vienna flights returned, but they didn't bring back her boy.

There was a dead silence all around.

Bowing his head, the smooth pale cyan marble, even the white boarding pass scattered on the ground was clearly lonely.

When I got home, it was early in the morning.

When I opened the door, the room was still clean and tidy, but it seemed that something had changed. The albums that had been scattered on the floor were put back on the table.

The clean, gentle pink, the most vicious curse in the world, was put back on the table and quietly closed.

"Yanxi!" Her expression moved, her heart beat hard, and she shouted. The voice was already dumb, and in the floating air, it was unusually broken.

The silence of a room.

Yan Xi has been back......

She knew the traces of his presence, touched the air he had breathed, but was even more sad.

Such a departure, such a loss again, is far more unbearable than the disillusionment of expectations at the airport.

Because, she knew that if it was Yanxi, she would leave again, no, and come back.

He said he would come back soon, he said he wanted her to wait for him at home, he said Ah Heng, come home, first sight, I want to see you......

She rushed out of the living room and walked to the door, the cold wind of winter was biting. In the wind, the door number that she wiped several times a day, the door number that could take him home, was gone.

All that remained, the remaining stains of blood after being pulled out of the gravel.

It's terrifyingly red.

He...... Took the home away, but left her behind.

The phone rang again.

"Ah Heng, has Yan Xi gone back?"

Ah Heng thought for a while, and his eyes became indifferent: "Well, I'm back, I'm already asleep." ”

He ...... You okay? Siwan hesitated.

Ah Heng's eyes were bloodshot, and he asked lightly, "What can happen to him?" ”

Siwan sighed: "It's okay." ”

"When are you coming back?"

"Aunt Lin has already booked a ticket for tomorrow's plane."

"Oh, that's it. Is Sindayi by your side? Ah Heng smiled, but Su Ri's gentle eyes did not have a trace of a smile.

"Yes." He handed the microphone out.

"Ah Heng. Is the beauty okay? The other party has a hearty and honest voice.

"Dayi, listen to me, now hang up the phone, find a place that no one knows, preferably a phone booth, and call the phone again." Ah Heng took a breath and lowered his voice, "Definitely, if there is no one else, no one can, you know?" ”

He replied with a simple defense: "Hmm. ”

Ah Heng looked at the clock in a daze, it was close to three o'clock in the morning.

About ten minutes later, the caller ID was an unfamiliar number.

"Ah Heng, you tell the truth, has Yanxi gone back?" The other party is Sindayi.

Ah Heng spoke slowly, and asked without answering: "Dayi, now I only trust you alone." Tell me, two years ago, what happened. ”

She couldn't be calmer, and even the sound of the second hand of the clock moving could be heard clearly.

Xin Dayi was silent, and after a long time, he spoke: "Yan Xi two years ago, on the second day of Lu Liu's departure, he was locked up at home by Grandpa Yan for half a year, and he didn't see the light of day. ”

"Grandpa Yan didn't allow anyone to visit him, and only said that he had a serious illness outside." Dayi's voice suddenly became excited, "But, how can it be so coincidental? Yan Xi has never had any other diseases except for colds since he was a child. The day before Lu Liu left, he also promised to participate in the relay race of the Games with me. ”

Suddenly, the young man was a little lonely: "I pestered him for a long time, and even my brother shouted, so he agreed." ”

Ah Heng bit his lip and asked with difficulty: "Dayi, you mean, Yan Xi's illness is related to Lu Liu?" ”

His voice was almost choked: "Ah Heng, Yan Xi is not sick, he was crazy at that time, no one recognizes him!" I secretly ran to see him, but he buried himself in the sheets, his eyes glazed, and he ignored me no matter how he shouted. At the time, I almost thought he would never come back......

"Ah Heng, he's crazy, do you understand what it means to be crazy? It's that no matter who you are, how long you've been playing with him, or how close to him is, it no longer makes any sense. ”

Early in the morning, she made a phone call to a person, and she hadn't been in touch for a long time, but she was a friend.

"Ah Heng, it's rare, why did you remember to call me?" The other laughed.

Ah Heng smiled and asked him, "Brother Huba, if you ask your brothers to visit City B, how long will it take?" ”

The other party is the tiger bully who they don't know if they don't fight with Yanxi. Everyone often drinks together in their free time, and cherishes each other, which is considered a gentleman's friend.

"It's going to take about three or four days." Tiger Ba made a rough calculation.

Ah Heng asked again: "What if the situation is urgent?" ”

Tiger Ba frowned: "At least two days." ”

Ah Heng asked again: "Faster?" ”

Tiger Ba was silent, speculating about Ah Heng's intentions.

Ah Heng smiled lightly and said in a gentle tone: "Brother Huba, if I ask you and your brothers to do a favor, I can go all over City B in one day." In other days, as long as there is a place to get Wen Heng, even if it is a crime and sentenced, the sister will help you do it. I wonder if this will happen? ”

Huba was taken aback, he rarely saw Ah Heng speak like this: "Ah Heng, what the hell is you said, my brother can help." ”

Ah Heng's knuckles were white, his lips were chapped, and he was almost oozing blood, but he still smiled: "Yan Xi is missing." ”

Ah Heng has been waiting, quietly waiting.

When the doorbell rang, it was six o'clock in the evening. Ah Heng and Dayi were on the phone, and they arrived at City B at five o'clock.

So anxious? Ah Heng clenched his fists, and hatred surged into his heart in an instant.

She opened the door, and the dark flowers were surging, and the plum was sweet.

Sure enough...... She.

"Aunt Lin, why are you here?" Ah Heng smiled, his eyebrows and eyes were clear.

"Oh, let's take a look at Nozomi. At that time, the kid said he would run away, okay? Lin Ruomei smiled gently, but there was a hint of eagerness in her voice, and she leaned into the living room, "Xiaoxi, Yanxi!" ”

Ah Heng remained silent: "What are you doing in such a hurry?" She soaked the top Biluochun, smiled like a spring breeze, handed over the purple porcelain cup, and the room was full of fragrance.

Lin Ruomei took the tea, squinted, and smiled: "Xiaoxi didn't come back, did she?" ”

Ah Heng looked down at the ups and downs of the tea leaves in the clear water: "No, is this exactly what you want?" ”

Lin Ruomei raised her eyebrows: "You kid, what do you mean by saying this?" ”

Ah Heng shook his head and sighed: "No, I said something wrong." Your original intention was that Yan Xi would go crazy immediately after seeing those photos, right? ”

"What photos do you say? What's crazy? You kid, how can you say something that your aunt doesn't understand? Lin Ruomei smiled.

"Do you have such a bad memory? It's the photo album you sent me under the guise of Yan Xi's name, pink and crusty. Ah Heng described, smiling.

Lin Ruomei stared at Ah Heng for a long time, her eyes slowly changed from soft to cold: "Did I underestimate you, Wen Heng?" It's not easy for you to be so calm when you see something so disgusting. To Yanxi, I just said that those photos existed, and he couldn't stand it. ”

Ah Heng smiled and lowered his head: "Two years ago, you instructed four men to rape Yan Xi, who was only fifteen years old, on the day Lu Liu went abroad, didn't you?" ”

Four men, with her own eyes, were distinguished one by one from the photo.

Lin Ruomei sneered: "That little goblin, doesn't you like to seduce men the most, what's the big deal about being by men?!" ”

Ah Heng grabbed his right arm with his left hand, and under the sweater, his skin was completely painful: "That night, you asked Secretary Chen to take a photo." He threatened to send these photos to someone who was important to him, such as Lu Liu, if he told him about it. ”

Therefore, every time Yan Xi saw Secretary Chen, he was so painful.

She sent the photos home, just to make sure Yanxi could see them. If you don't anger Lu Liu, it is naturally best to let Yan Xi's psychological defense line collapse automatically.

Lin Ruomei's expression became disgusted: "This vixen, if you want to destroy my son, it's not that easy." I'm going to destroy my son before he kills him!" It's just that I didn't expect that after he went crazy back then, he would be able to come to his senses. ”

Ah Heng raised his head, his eyes were dark and waveless: "If I'm not mistaken, in fact, it should be Lu Liu who has always liked Yanxi, Aunt Lin?" ”

Lin Ruomei stood up suddenly, her eyes were vicious: "What nonsense are you talking about, my son won't like that kind of little who doesn't even want his father!" ”

Ah Heng also got up, and the hot water of the whole purple clay pot poured down from Lin Ruomei's head, and said lightly: "Lin Ruomei, you said that the main perpetrator of rape will be in prison for several years?" You say, if Yanxi's grandfather found out, you would go to jail for a few years? ”

Lin Ruomei screamed, like a chicken in soup, no longer elegant and noble before: "Do you have any evidence to prove that I did it, just those photos?" ”

Ah Heng took out a voice recorder from his pocket and said slowly: "Of course there is not enough physical evidence, but what about a confession, is it enough?" ”

Lin Ruomei's face was completely hideous: "You little slut!" The same scumbag as Yanxi! ”

Ah Heng stretched out his hand and slapped the woman in front of him fiercely: "Lin Ruomei, I respect you for three points because you are old, don't think that others are afraid of you!" If you scold Yan Xi one more word, before I send you to court, I don't mind stabbing you because of 'a moment of anger, justifiable defense in the case of you snatching evidence and committing violence'! ”

She grabbed the fruit knife on the table and looked at Lin Ruomei, her eyes becoming colder.

Lin Ruomei looked a little frightened: "You...... How dare you! ”

Ah Heng smiled, and the bloodshot in his eyes was heavier: "Why don't I dare?" Who do you think you are? Don't say it's a Lin Ruomei, it's a hundred, a thousand, can I say peace and joy in exchange for me, why not?

"What's more, you don't seem to know very well who is standing behind me and Yanxi, and whose grandchildren are the you keep scolding!"

Lin Ruomei suddenly calmed down and smiled kindly: "What if I say that I haven't taken the Yan family in my eyes? ”

"Thanks to you, Yan Xi is missing. If he loses a hair, I'll pull out all your hair; If he is cold and hungry, I will make you cold and starve tenfold and hundredfold; If he's crazy, I'll do what you did before, and make you crazy again, how about it? ”

"Then we might as well try." Tea dripped from Lin Ruomei's hair, and the smile on that face slowly became more eerie, "It seems that things have become more interesting." ”
